HECTOR - After discussion of a installing a gate at the east end of the city park, a motion to install a fence was made by Harold Tripp and was passed unanimously.

Carol Owens volunteered to get the old city gate out of storage, Mayor Martha Owens said. Currently, there is one entrance in and out of the city park, which can become inconvenient when activities such as Dogg Daze take place at the park. "It will be safer for attendees and vendors," Mayor Owens said.

The cost to install the fence is the only remaining factor for the council to consider.

Owens urged the council members to visit the city park to decide whether a chain link fence is appropriate for the park.

In other business, the council accepted a bid of $250 for the city's Chevrolet pickup truck.

Owens has contacted Ian Hope of the Department of Parks and Tourism about the inspection of the completed work on the city park.
